f09b5681 21 The wxScrolled class manages scrolling for its client area, transforming
23324ae1
FM
22 the coordinates according to the scrollbar positions, and setting the
23 scroll positions, thumb sizes and ranges according to the area in view.
7c913512 24

25 There are two commonly used (but not the only possible!) specializations of
26 this class:
27
28 - ::wxScrolledWindow, aka wxScrolled<wxPanel>, is equivalent to
29 ::wxScrolledWindow from earlier versions. Derived from wxPanel, it shares
30 wxPanel's behaviour with regard to TAB traversal and focus handling. Use
d2ddc77d 31 this if the scrolled window will have child controls.
16361ec9
VS
32
33 - ::wxScrolledCanvas, aka wxScrolled<wxWindow>, derives from wxWindow and
34 so doesn't handle children specially. This is suitable e.g. for
d13b34d3 35 implementing scrollable controls such as tree or list controls.
16361ec9 36
23324ae1 37 Starting from version 2.4 of wxWidgets, there are several ways to use a
d2ddc77d
RR
38 ::wxScrolledWindow (and now wxScrolled). In particular, there are
39 three ways to set the size of the scrolling area:
7c913512 40
16361ec9
VS
41 One way is to set the scrollbars directly using a call to SetScrollbars().
42 This is the way it used to be in any previous version of wxWidgets and it
43 will be kept for backwards compatibility.
7c913512 44
23324ae1
FM
45 An additional method of manual control, which requires a little less
46 computation of your own, is to set the total size of the scrolling area by
16361ec9
VS
47 calling either wxWindow::SetVirtualSize(), or wxWindow::FitInside(), and
48 setting the scrolling increments for it by calling SetScrollRate().
23324ae1
FM
49 Scrolling in some orientation is enabled by setting a non-zero increment
50 for it.
7c913512 51
23324ae1 52 The most automatic and newest way is to simply let sizers determine the
16361ec9 53 scrolling area. This is now the default when you set an interior sizer into
f09b5681 54 a wxScrolled with wxWindow::SetSizer(). The scrolling area will be
16361ec9
VS
55 set to the size requested by the sizer and the scrollbars will be assigned
56 for each orientation according to the need for them and the scrolling
57 increment set by SetScrollRate(). As above, scrolling is only enabled in
58 orientations with a non-zero increment. You can influence the minimum size
59 of the scrolled area controlled by a sizer by calling
60 wxWindow::SetVirtualSizeHints(). (Calling SetScrollbars() has analogous
61 effects in wxWidgets 2.4 -- in later versions it may not continue to
62 override the sizer.)
63
64 Note that if maximum size hints are still supported by
65 wxWindow::SetVirtualSizeHints(), use them at your own dire risk. They may
66 or may not have been removed for 2.4, but it really only makes sense to set
67 minimum size hints here. We should probably replace
68 wxWindow::SetVirtualSizeHints() with wxWindow::SetMinVirtualSize() or
69 similar and remove it entirely in future.

72 SetMinClientSize().

74 As with all windows, an application can draw onto a wxScrolled using a
75 @ref overview_dc "device context".
7c913512 76
16361ec9 77 You have the option of handling the OnPaint handler or overriding the
f09b5681
BP
78 wxScrolled::OnDraw() function, which is passed a pre-scrolled device
79 context (prepared by wxScrolled::DoPrepareDC()).
16361ec9
VS
80
81 If you don't wish to calculate your own scrolling, you must call
82 DoPrepareDC() when not drawing from within OnDraw(), to set the device
83 origin for the device context according to the current scroll position.
84
f09b5681 85 A wxScrolled will normally scroll itself and therefore its child windows
16361ec9
VS
86 as well. It might however be desired to scroll a different window than
87 itself: e.g. when designing a spreadsheet, you will normally only have to
88 scroll the (usually white) cell area, whereas the (usually grey) label area
89 will scroll very differently. For this special purpose, you can call
90 SetTargetWindow() which means that pressing the scrollbars will scroll a
91 different window.
92
93 Note that the underlying system knows nothing about scrolling coordinates,
94 so that all system functions (mouse events, expose events, refresh calls
95 etc) as well as the position of subwindows are relative to the "physical"
96 origin of the scrolled window. If the user insert a child window at
23324ae1 97 position (10,10) and scrolls the window down 100 pixels (moving the child
16361ec9
VS
98 window out of the visible area), the child window will report a position
99 of (10,-90).

107 Use wxScrolled for applications where the user scrolls by a fixed amount,
108 and where a 'page' can be interpreted to be the current visible portion of
109 the window. For more sophisticated applications, use the wxScrolled
110 implementation as a guide to build your own scroll behaviour or use
111 wxVScrolledWindow or its variants.

223 DoPrepareDC() is called automatically within the default @c wxEVT_PAINT

226 outside of OnDraw() (e.g. from your own @c wxEVT_PAINT handler), you
227 must call this function yourself.

235

248 Notice that the function sets the origin by moving it relatively to the

250 calling DoPrepareDC() or, if you do, reset it to (0, 0) later. If you
251 call DoPrepareDC() immediately after device context creation, as in the

481 Call this function to tell wxScrolled to perform the actual scrolling
482 on a different window (and not on itself).
483
484 This method is useful when only a part of the window should be
485 scrolled. A typical example is a control consisting of a fixed header
486 and the scrollable contents window: the scrollbars are attached to the
487 main window itself, hence it, and not the contents window must be
488 derived from wxScrolled, but only the contents window scrolls when the
489 scrollbars are used. To implement such setup, you need to call this
490 method with the contents window as argument.
491
492 Notice that if this method is used, GetSizeAvailableForScrollTarget()
493 method must be overridden.
